On her deal with Netflix, Handler said: "If I was going to continue working in this industry, I knew I had to do something outside the box to keep myself interested.

"I wanted to sit with the cool kids at lunch so I approached Netflix to make sure they were as cool as I thought they were, and when I confirmed my suspicions, like with any other future lover, I made my move.

"I'm more excited than I've been in a while, and the team at Netflix is the most forward-thinking, alert group I've sat down with in ages. No offence to the Shahs Of Sunset."

Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said that he is "looking forward to reimagining the late night talk show for the on-demand generation" with Handler.
